I think the idea of stiffer penalties as the number of beanballs increases
is good -- however, this would not have been appropriate in the case of
the San Diego-Atlanta game.  This is because Atlanta hit two batters,
Wiggins and Nettles, and if I remember right San Diego only hit Perez
once.  Most of the people on this net, however, seem to feel that the
whole matter was the Padres' fault (even though Perez started it.)  In
this case, "hit batsmen" would have to be changed to "thrown-at batsmen"
to account for the fact that it took San Diego so many tries to finally
tag Perez.
